Looking for movie: two guys invent new kind of basketball with lots of weird rules
 

Hi everybody!

Well, as the title says I'm looking for this movie.
It begins at a party, where two not-so-popular guys challenge two very popular guys to a game of two-on-two basketball. During this game they invent all kinds of weird rules.

Their game becomes a nation-wide success. Almost anything is allowed to distract the opponent in order to grab the ball from their hands. At some point in the movie a guy puts a sheet of aluminium foil in his mouth and starts to chew, much to the disgust of his opponent (who supposedly has amalgam fillings) who closes his eyes and turns his head away, thus allowing the aluminium chewer to grab the ball.

I only saw this movie once, years ago, but I'd quite like to see it again. I just can't remember the title, any of the actors or, well, anything relevant...

Please help!

I love that movie!

Kenny "Squeak" Scolari: I am not a piece of s--t!
Douglas "Swish" Reemer: Yeah, but you're a little b--ch.
Kenny "Squeak" Scolari: Godd--mit! I swear if you guys rip on me 13 or 14 more times... I'm outta here!

Swedish is most definitely correct. Very underrated flick from the same two guys who brought us South Park.

I like South Park and all, but I've actually never seen Baseketball

If you like South Park, the odds of you straight-up loving Baseketball are pretty flippin' good.

and when Chris gives his flippin seal of approval you know its going to be good.


Huge hit in Australia and often gets a play on the TV, surprised there was someone who didnt know the title.

"Mr. Squeak, what grade are you in?"

I can't believe somebody negative repped Turrebo on his first post!

It was me.

Baseketball is a very underated film, it is awesome.

Did anyone notice the Cartmon voice right at the end?

Re: Looking for movie: two guys invent new kind of basketball with lots of weird rule
 

Yeah, Baseketball is class. I do believe I have it on DVD.

I take it, it was a mistake? Nothing wrong with his post.

Thank you for your quick reply (4 minutes! I wish my ISP helpdesk had a responsetime like that). Now all I have to do is find a store selling it. I think you're right in saying that it is an underrated movie, because so far I can't find it anywhere (in the Netherlands, that is).

There's always this: http://www.amazon.com/BASEketball-Ka...4104227&sr=8-1

Thanks for the link, but unfortunately it's the wrong regio (I'm in regio 2). Also Dutch subtitles are, although not strictly necessary, greatly appreciated. Well, the movie is out there, so therefore I will find it one day.

No it wasn't a mistake, this person is obviously to lazy to look anything up for themselves.

I was about 8 when Baseketball came out and for years it was my favorite movie. I'v grown to like it a little bit less but it still has me in stitches when I watch it.

Did I just fart?

Re: Looking for movie: two guys invent new kind of basketball with lots of weird rule
 

Excuse me? I thought this was THE place to ask this kind of questions. I tried a Google search, but it's amazing how many Google hits you get containing the words Basketball, Weird Rules and Aluminium Foil on the same page. And that was all I could remember from the movie.

Anyway, thanks for the link. I do appreciate that.

Thank you all for your replies!
